In celebration of the musical’s upcoming 60th anniversary, Fountain Hills Theater recently announced the opening of the classic Kander and Ebb musical, “Cabaret.”

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken by English singer Sally Bowles.

Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boardinghouse, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish.

“Cabaret” will play from Sept. 5 to 21, with performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Individual tickets are $40 for adults and $18 for children 17 and under, as well as students. Seniors receive a $5 discount on Thursday performances. Group rates are available through the Box Office. All performances are at Fountain Hills Theater on its Mainstage, in the Noel Irick and Peter J. Hill Playhouse at 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd.
